Buttons

Botanical name: Agaricus bisporus Common name: Champignons Buttons are the youngest and generally (but not always) the smallest. The name refers to their shape and stage of growth, not the size. The cap of the button mushroom is always tightly closed around the stem. They have a firm, delicate texture and mild flavour that intensifies when cooked. Preparation: There’s no need to wash or peel mushrooms – simply brush off any specks or wipe over with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim stems as required. Usage: Suitable to eat raw or cooked, they’re great whole or sliced in salads, stir-fries, risotto, pizza toppings, pasta dishes , skewered and barbecued or simply served with dips.

If you are using a fan-forced oven please note your cooking time may be a little quicker, so a good idea is to check your food a little earlier

Mushrooms: Buttons or Caps

Buttons (also known as Caps) are the youngest and generally (but not always) the smallest mushrooms. The name refers to their shape and stage of growth, not the size. The cap of the button mushroom is always tightly closed around the stem. They have a firm, delicate texture and mild flavour that intensifies when cooked.

There's no need to wash or peel mushrooms, simply brush off any specks or wipe over with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim stems as required. Button mushrooms are suitable to eat raw or cooked, they're great whole or sliced in salads, stir-fries, risotto, pizza toppings, pasta dishes , skewered and barbecued or simply served with dips.
